Aaron Wise faced disqualification from the Wyndham Championship after being out of position when play resumed on August 8, 2026. This situation arose during a second-round weather delay, which resulted in Wise being unable to return to the course in time, violating Rule 5.7(c)2. With a first-round score of 72 and sitting at 149 on the FedEx Cup points list, he needed a good finish to keep his playoff hopes alive.
